In 1990 a rheumatologist led the team that defined fibromyalgia by counting tender points. Seven years later he published a paper taking his own criteria apart. It's one of the more honest things in modern medicine, and it still shapes what you should do in clinic.

3. The threshold is a convention, not a natural boundary. Wolfe's later work built a 0–31 distress scale precisely because there's no clean line between people who meet criteria and people who don't. Someone at WPI 6 / SSS 8 doesn't have "nearly fibromyalgia".

They sit a fraction below an agreed line, with the same symptom burden and the same needs as someone a point above it. Treat the person, not the threshold.
